Your favorite hulabilly band is coming up to Alameda to play at the legendary Forbidden Island!! I'm personally excited about this because I've heard such amazing things about FI. We're in the process of working up a bunch of new songs for the show too, including two new ones that I've written; "Mai Kai Mystery Girl" and "The Suffering Bastard". Actually, Lucas Vigor co-wrote "The Suffering Bastard" with me too. We'll be playing three sets of about 40 mins each. Also, coming with us are Miss Judy Luck and our cover model Miss Dinah DeRosa!
Dinah is also Miss December in the Forbidden Island calendar! Hope to see you all Saturday, February 19th 5:00pm - 8:00pm Spike [ Edited by: Luckydesigns 2011-01-11 15:25 ] [ Edited by: Luckydesigns 2011-02-12 19:30 ] |

Atomic Tiki Punk told me he (and Jungle Ginger) will be there making their Forbidden Island debut. I'll be there as well, watching ATP's back (just in case :D). So CA represent !! This should be great intimate show. |

LMAO!! I think I just about fell off the couch laughing. I look forward to seeing any of the SoCal Ohana that show up...John-O we have been missing each other for awhile now when you have traveled this way so if you make it to FI all the better! Oh and bring Sabu! and Doctor Z! They are well loved up here :) [ Edited by: leleliz 2011-01-18 20:12 ] |

I notice that this will be on a holiday weekend for some of us. This is giving me an incentive to make the roadtrip from So Cal. Seeing the Hula Girls and having a romantic weekend in the Bay area will make a nice Valentine's day surprise for my wife. Spike are you making an awesome poster to commemorate this performance? |

I know you like to have characteristics and personalty of the establishment represented in your art work. Hopefully some of the Forbidden Island regulars on TC will put in their thoughts of what would best reflect this iconic Tiki Lounge. Looking at the photos of the FI web site, their Facebook page, and TC archives I notice they have a "signature tiki" that you usually like represented on your posters. My suggestion is to have the tiki sitting in the big whicker Dr. Fu Manchu type chair that I saw in several pictures under some cool tiki lamps. Hopefully this will start the ball rolling on some others (who have actually been to Forbidden Island) to give some better input. Here are a couple of links to the pictures I found for Forbidden Island for my suggestion. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=32172&forum=17 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1041220753045&set=t.66526350002 |

Man, Beach Bum Scott, I think you should just move back to California. Are any out-of-towners going to Smuggler's Cove afterward or is the plan to close down FI ?? Decisions, decisions (but a good Tiki problem to have). :) UPDATE - Actually now that I think about it, since Molokai Mike is hosting such a great show, I will be spending all of my weekend Tiki dollars at FI.

Ah!! Korena! You need to cancel your Sweden trip!! Right? It's GREAT that you're coming out from Denver, Scott! And as always, I'm stoked to have you hanging out, John-O! I feel like if you're at the bar by 5:00, you should be good to get a poster... But don't quote me on that though. Regardless, I'm gonna print a bunch and they're really very inexpensive, for hand printed art. |

For out of towners wanting some accommodation advice: A nicer hotel experience, if you want to make a weekend of it, and a little more spendy (I think) would be: Marina Village Inn Way looking forward to it! See you all there! |

This time, next week, we'll be playing at the world famous Forbidden Island! I mixed that skin tone out of red, white, and gold speedball ink... If you look closely (in person) there's some metallic shimmer to the wahine, due to the gold ink! Bonus! Remember that the first 5 people in the door, at show time, will receive a free poster! See ya next week, northern California! |
